What is the best epub reader for windows?
The best one I've found is the Readium Chrome extension. You can also download Adobe Digital Editions, and you can download calibre - E-book management, which has a usable e-book reader as part of the suite. Calibre also helps you manage your entire library, find new books, and convert books between formats. All are free and work on Windows.

Choose the tool with which you want annotation done. By drawing on the document create annotation and click save.
Is there a way to save Mendeley annotations to the document itself without having to export the PDF with annotations?
Not saving annotations into the document itself is the default behavior, but as you note in your question, the annotations can be added to the document by selecting File->Export PDF With Annotations.To be less frictionless, we would have to make writing the annotations into the document the default, which we don't currently plan to do, as it breaks the collaborative annotation model.I would love to hear where people see the friction arising in their workflow. If you tend to use other applications besides Mendeley to read papers annotated in Mendeley, that suggests that there is an opportunity for us to address a mode of use such that you no longer felt the need to use a third-party reader.
Is there any way to transform a low resolution image to quality high resolution?
Yes, there is one tool- Neural network image super-resolution and enhancement, which uses neural networks to completely to increase resolution, remove all JPEG artefacts and enlarge the photo 4x. It’s extremely simple and does everything online.Here how it worked for me. On the left - I enlarged manually, right - with the tool.
What is the best way to organise PDFs (academic journals, etc.) when doing research?
Edit 10/12/2018: Bookends to manage my 1300+ PDFs on both Mac and iOS. I’m still reading on paper. My workflow now is to take notes (on paper) as I read, then I distill those notes down into my own words (the very important part). Those distilled thoughts I type into The Archive, a zettelkasten app on my Mac. My notes there are also indexed by DEVONthink so I can take advantage of its artificial intelligence for finding links between papers. The zettelkasten system itself helps my own brain do this, linking new knowledge with existing, leading to better retention, and some insights too.Edit 10/01/2017: I still use paper when reading articles that I want to get the most information from. When printing, I scale the page down to 80% or 90%. This reduction of the printed area gives me more space in the margins for writing notes.Edit: I've been doing research in this area, and there are a couple of systems out that might be of interest for organizing PDFs. Both @CompendiumNG and @Docear integrate PDF management with other organization tools such as mind mapping. Docear especially has visions of being a universal interface to all things related to doing research. I recommend the OP look into these suites in addition to the other traditional PDF managers being suggested.I use BibDesk and Adobe Reader on my Mac to organize, read and annotate PDFs. On my iPad I use PocketBib and GoodReader to read the bibliography created on the Mac and read and annotate the papers. This lets me sit in the recliner with my iPad and read references.I've also added a field in BibDesk named 'To-Read' that has a checkbox I can tick for papers that I haven't read. I create smart groups for professors inmy program so all their work is together, and static groups to group the references in papers that I want to 'go deep' on and read all the refs. Everything is saved in Dropbox, and I write papers using Texpad for my Mac and for my iPad.
My Mendeley crashed, my PDF files are lost, along with my highlights. I lost a lot of work. I can't trust it anymore, is there a better alternative that I can rely on?
Yes. Zotero. Even comes with a convenient import function from Mendeley if you’re able to retrieve your database: kb:mendeley import [Zotero Documentation]It functions relatively similar to Mendeley overall, with much better import from the web and overall more attention to getting details right.It doesn’t have a built-in PDF viewer/annotator, so you’ll want to use a generic one like acrobat or preview and combine that with the ZotFile (https://www.zotfile.com ) add-on for Zotero.
